The Mini Relay For Life went well and the students had a good time. We will not know how we did in the penny war until sometime this week.
I sent home permission slips for prayer services that we will be participating in during the week of April 11th. Please make sure they are signed and returned by Tuesday of this week. I will be using all of you that have said they could drive. On Friday, April 15th, the first graders will also be participating in the living Stations of the Cross at school for morning prayer. It is always a wonderful prayer service and reminds us truly of the meaning of Lent. I hope you can attend.
This Wednesday evening is the Spring Program. The first grade is not participating in this program but it is always entertaining to come and watch.
Curriculum remains the same. In another week I will be starting math timed tests with a mix of addition and subtraction. Please make sure your child is reviewing all math facts whether addition or subtraction. There will be no vocabulary words this week. Continue to review the old ones. Continue to work on counting out money using quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies. One of the areas I am really working on with your children is listening and following directions. This also includes reading directions and following them correctly. You can also work on this at home.
A reminder: some planners are not being signed, homework is not being returned, and reading envelopes are coming back not signed, or the book is missing. These are all entered into my grade book and affects your child's grade. Please make sure you check their homework and their planner.
Thank you for all of your support. If you have read this blog have your child give me a "high five." Have a great week. GOD LOVES YOU!
